Without posting the entire story (per LAT/WP blah blah blah) here is a little more detail:

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - A military commander of Afghanistan’s ousted Taliban militia apologized on Wednesday for a bomb attack in the southern city of Kandahar that killed 16 people, including many children, calling it a botched attempt to target U.S. troops.

The fundamentalist Islamic group initially denied involvement in Tuesday’s explosion near a military compound as children were passing on their way home from school.

The blast, from a bomb hidden in an apple cart, came just two days after a new constitution was adopted in Kabul, which Afghans hope will usher in a period of peace and stability after a quarter of a century of bloodshed.

“It was a mistake by our mujahideen (holy warriors),” senior Taliban commander Mullah Sabir Momin said by satellite telephone.

I DO hope that satellite call was intercepted, and the position identified, so that we could return the favor...

No need to apologize. The Jihadists have recently published numerous opinions that 'collateral damage' in their struggle against the infidels is A-OK according to the Quran.

hehe. I had a similar thought.

Another scalp for my ZOT pole?

Quoth Taliban official "uh, can we get a do over?"

[miltonim]

“We wanted to target the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) office in the city, but because of a small mistake, this plan failed,” he told Reuters.

[CaptRon]

I guess "small mistake"s are a matter of perspective.

What did he do trollish? I only see two threads, this one and one about moving military bases to Poland and neither looked trollish. Is there another trollish thread?
